The Van Buren County Jail is operated by the Van Buren County Sheriff's Office and serves as the county's primary detention and booking facility. The jail processes arrests from the sheriff's deputies, the Clinton Police Department, the Fairfield Bay Police Department, and the Shirley Police Department. The county's mix of permanent residents and seasonal visitors from Greers Ferry Lake creates variable law enforcement demands throughout the year.

To search for inmates currently held in the Van Buren County Jail, you can contact the sheriff's office directly by phone or check for online roster availability. Booking records include photographs, charges, bond amounts, and arrest dates. All records are public under the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act.

About Van Buren County

Van Buren County is situated in the Ozark foothills and is best known for Greers Ferry Lake, a 31,500-acre U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reservoir that is one of the premier recreational lakes in the mid-South. The lake draws hundreds of thousands of visitors annually for fishing, boating, swimming, and camping. Clinton, the county seat, has a population of approximately 2,600 and serves as a service center for the lake area and surrounding communities. Fairfield Bay, a planned resort community on the north shore of Greers Ferry Lake, has a population of roughly 2,200 and attracts retirees and vacationers. The community of Heber Springs, while technically in Cleburne County, is closely linked economically to Van Buren County. The Little Red River below Greers Ferry Dam is nationally recognized for its trophy brown trout fishing, holding the former world record for brown trout. Van Buren County's economy centers on tourism, recreation, retirement services, and agriculture.
